that updates your wall telling everyone how your baby is growing in your womb.
My miniature Einstein's body is growing quick. They're now 2 inches tall! (60 mm), while the super-speedy growth of their brain has their head still MUCH larger than the body as over 1/3 of their total body mass! They're also "practicing breathing" by inhaling and expelling amniotic fluid.

about the digestive progress of your lunch might do the trick. Particularly if you work in a hospital and can persuade a friendly radiographer to sort you out some scans. And naturally every visit to the bathroom should be accompanied by a tweet announcing "it's a boy!"

My wife wanted to keep it quite low key but had complete strangers stop her in the street and ask her "How long to go" and "can I touch your bump?" and when the kids were born it got even worse. I can't go anywhere without some woman (its always women) stopping me and cooing and clucking.

Your baby now weighs about 1.7kg and is around 42cm long from head to toe. Although his lungs won't be fully developed until just before birth, your little one is busy inhaling amniotic fluid to exercise his lungs. From 32 weeks, babies born early have good chance of surviving and thriving. His skin is becoming soft and smooth as he plumps up in preparation for birth.
Inside pregnancy video: a 3D animated look at a baby in this week of pregnancy. Take a look!Some babies have a head of hair already, others have only a few wisps. Thick hair at birth doesn't necessarily mean thick hair later on. But children with fine hair in childhood also tend to have fine hair when they've grown up.
If your baby is a boy, his testicles should have descended from his abdomen into his scrotum. Sometimes, however, one or both testicles won't move into position until after birth. In two thirds of all baby boys who have undescended testicles at birth, the condition corrects itself by their first birthday.
You're probably gaining 450g a week, largely because your baby is likely to gain more than half his birthweight during the seven weeks before birth. Make sure you are eating well in these last few weeks.
Your bump will be getting quite big now, and you may find it attracts a lot of attention!
